Default Wheel size help

Looking for a set of Volk TE37's that fit with Spoon Calipers. Which would be the best choice for Road Racing track only Ek9 CTR?

Volk TE-37 [15x7, +35 offset]
Volk TE-37 [15x7, +43 offset]

im not sure about te37 fitment for sp00n calipers, but just in general, the 15x7+43 & 35 will fit. 6.5" wheels are too narrow. and for the price of volks, u may as well get the right size.
now, are you competing or just building a fun car? because a rulebook will most likely specify a max width

Either will fit fine with a 195/55 or 205/50 so get the +35 because it will look better :p. Heaps of tyre choices in those sizes too.

For autocross, track width plays a significant role in determining line offset requirements especially in slaloms, wider is not always better.

Found info, the 15x7 +43 requires a 6mm spacer.

Don't w your time on the 43. Get the 35 to clear the caliper and a lot more aggresive ones in the car vs the 43.
